About Susan

Some of my earliest and fondest memories are of my mother designing Mardi Gras ball gowns. I can still hear the sewing machine; can still see the look of joy on Mom’s face when the gowns were finished; can still hear her voice as she spoke about fabric and design. That’s where my love of fashion began.

When I started my professional career, I found a wonderful way to channel that passion. As a personal shopper at Saks, I helped so many clients create beautiful wardrobes. And across my career, I’ve continued to find ways to help clients and friends find styles that best reflects their personalities and sensibilities.

After many satisfying years in the hospitality industry, I’m going back to my roots. I’m a personal shopper once again, and I chose those words very purposefully. I believe in a personal touch. There’s no ‘one size fits all’ approach for me. I’ll work closely with you to understand your particular style and your personal needs.

And, yes, I’m an expert shopper! I truly enjoy searching through racks of clothes, identifying just the right piece of jewelry and finding that perfect pair of shoes. And if you need someone to walk into your closet and organize your wardrobe---well, you’ve come to the right place!

One of my favorite quotes comes from Anne Klein, who said, “Clothes aren’t going to change the world. The women who wear them will.” Let me help you put your best foot forward as you change the world!
